Luxembourg will host Malta at the Luxembourg Stadium on Friday in a friendly clash between the two nations.
The home side have kicked off their European Championship qualifiers in sluggish fashion but have enough time to save themselves when the competition resumes later in the month. Their most recent friendly outing came back in November last year when they faced Bulgaria at the Luxembourg Stadium, playing out a goalless draw.
Luxembourg will face Liechtenstein next weekend in the European Championship qualifiers and will be looking to begin their preparations for the clash this Friday.
Malta have endured an even worse start to their qualifying campaign, kicking things off with defeats against North Macedonia and Italy. Their latest friendly also came back in November with the Falcons hosting Ireland at the Ta' Qali National Stadium and losing 1-0.
The visitors will now be targeting victory this weekend as they gear up for their qualification clash against England next week.
